HC Deb 22 February 1901 vol 89 c850
CAPTAIN NORTON (Newington, W.)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will consider the advisability of comparing the cost of the erection and maintenance of barracks and fortifications by the Royal Engineers with the prices which would be charged by civil engineers and builders if those works were performed by them instead of by the Inspector General and his staff.

* LORD STANLEY

This question, among many others, has not been lost sight of, nor will it be; but I am not in a position to make any statement.
